which are not merely decorative but are the scene of some of the play’s action.
Besides erecting the living quarters for Moliere’s characters, the stagecraft class designed and made the actors' elaborate costumes. Fuller, student supervisor, says the costumes are superior in design and quality to many of those rented from theatrical costuming firms.
Mary Vallee is the feminine interest.
Among the actors wno will swing in and out of the garden gate and wear the costumes are Wayne Hoover. E. Ray Scott, and Taylor Murray.
Hoover, recently seen in “The Late Christopher Bean,” believes “School for Wives” is the most unusual play ever produced by the drama department and thinks it is a definite step toward an educational thca.er. He plays Oronte, the lather of Horace, the young lov^r, in the comedy.
Tomorrow night’s opening of “School for Wives” begins a five-day run, continuing, through Tuesday. There will be no performance Sunday night. Admission is 50 cents, or free with activity books.

Pettengill Authors New Econ Text
Present texts on intermediate economic theory didn’t satisfy Dr. Robert B. Pettengill, director of Teaching Institute of Economics, so j he wrote his own.
"Price Economics,” fresh off the | Ronald Press, approaches the sub-I ject of “price" from a different ; angle. Dr. Pettengill calls it the j “institutional approach.”
The Pettengill method deals with j the prices of individual goods and i services instead of with abstract | price levels. It combines descriptive | and theoretical problems. The au-I thor’s theories are explained with | practical illustrations, and he re-i gards prices both as causes and ef-! fects.
Material in the new text has been used and revised in mimeograph form for the last three years by Dr. Pettengiil’s classes. Next semester,
| the classes will be using bound cop-

Shrine Smokes; It's Steak Fry
The Shrine auditorium is definitely fireproof. It smoked for 30 minutes last n ght without catching fire.
While fireladdies mounted ladders and unlimbered hoses the chief chef stood at a second-floor window and shouted, “Hey, there’s no fire up here!” The fire-eaters were skeptical.
Smoke had been blowing over the Shrine for several minutes. By 8:15 a crowd had collected and two engine companies had been summoned.
“They’re having a steak fry.’’ an engine driver remarked as he drove off.
Meanwhile a happy shriner, complete with red fez and bay window, snapped pictures of the br’ght red engines from an upper window.
By 8:30 Jefferson boulevard was again deserted, and the myst c society was continuing with its festivities—sans smoke.
Hindu Scholar Decries British Greed in Talk
With a strong reminder that nations emphasizing economics and politics don't live long, Pandit Rishiram. Hindu scholar and lecturer, yesterday called for a new outlook on life by Westem civilization.
Giving the first of two lectures sponsored by the School of Philosophy on “India Today.” the Indian said. “You don’t have to read ‘The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’ to get a picture of falling empires.”
He said that England is the modern example.
“She had one race, one creed, and freedom to her advantage when she set about the process of possession. Her culture was splashed all over the world, but she lost her soul.”
India, with her philosophy of love and sympathy, has kept her soul alive. Rishiram said.
“We need the vitality of the West in India, and you must take a lesson from us and base your civilization on a more spiritual plane.”
A world tom by confLct should take a lesson from Mahatma Gandhi. In 30 years he gained freedom for 300 millions without bloodshed, Rishiram said.
“Gandhi told Indians in 1916 that they were going to fight the biggest empire in the world . . . ‘and you will love them’.”
Neutrals Seek To Aid Berlin
PARIS, Nov. 30—<CP)—Juan A. Bramuglia, retiring president of the United Nations Security council, tonight called on six neutral countries to study the Berlin currency problem in a despairing attempt to bring peace to the crisis torn city.
He asked the neutrals to complete their study within 30 days.
But at the insistence of the United States, Great Britain and France, all openly skeptical of his proposal. Bramuglia included in his call a reference to “events” in Berlin, meaning the Russian blockade. Herye, it was regarded as doubtful whether Russia would confirm the tentative approval it had given in advance.
Bramuglia's term In the council
presidency ends at midnight tonight under the rule by which each member country holds the chair Ior one month. He is Argentina's foreign minister.
Bramuglia has worked day and night all during November in an attempt to solve the Berlin crisis.
By his statement tonight, Bramuglia got on record with a new call for an attempt to solve the currency problem as a first step toward ending the Russian blockade.

which are not merely decorative but are the scene of some of the play’s action.
Besides erecting the living quarters for Moliere’s characters, the stagecraft class designed and made the actors' elaborate costumes. Fuller, student supervisor, says the costumes are superior in design and quality to many of those rented from theatrical costuming firms.
Mary Vallee is the feminine interest.
Among the actors wno will swing in and out of the garden gate and wear the costumes are Wayne Hoover. E. Ray Scott, and Taylor Murray.
Hoover, recently seen in “The Late Christopher Bean,” believes “School for Wives” is the most unusual play ever produced by the drama department and thinks it is a definite step toward an educational thca.er. He plays Oronte, the lather of Horace, the young lov^r, in the comedy.

Pettengill Authors New Econ Text
Present texts on intermediate economic theory didn’t satisfy Dr. Robert B. Pettengill, director of Teaching Institute of Economics, so j he wrote his own.
"Price Economics,” fresh off the | Ronald Press, approaches the sub-I ject of “price" from a different ; angle. Dr. Pettengill calls it the j “institutional approach.”
The Pettengill method deals with j the prices of individual goods and i services instead of with abstract | price levels. It combines descriptive | and theoretical problems. The au-I thor’s theories are explained with | practical illustrations, and he re-i gards prices both as causes and ef-! fects.
Material in the new text has been used and revised in mimeograph form for the last three years by Dr. Pettengiil’s classes. Next semester,

Shrine Smokes; It's Steak Fry
The Shrine auditorium is definitely fireproof. It smoked for 30 minutes last n ght without catching fire.
While fireladdies mounted ladders and unlimbered hoses the chief chef stood at a second-floor window and shouted, “Hey, there’s no fire up here!” The fire-eaters were skeptical.
Smoke had been blowing over the Shrine for several minutes. By 8:15 a crowd had collected and two engine companies had been summoned.
“They’re having a steak fry.’’ an engine driver remarked as he drove off.
Meanwhile a happy shriner, complete with red fez and bay window, snapped pictures of the br’ght red engines from an upper window.
By 8:30 Jefferson boulevard was again deserted, and the myst c society was continuing with its festivities—sans smoke.
Hindu Scholar Decries British Greed in Talk
With a strong reminder that nations emphasizing economics and politics don't live long, Pandit Rishiram. Hindu scholar and lecturer, yesterday called for a new outlook on life by Westem civilization.
Giving the first of two lectures sponsored by the School of Philosophy on “India Today.” the Indian said. “You don’t have to read ‘The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’ to get a picture of falling empires.”
He said that England is the modern example.
“She had one race, one creed, and freedom to her advantage when she set about the process of possession. Her culture was splashed all over the world, but she lost her soul.”
India, with her philosophy of love and sympathy, has kept her soul alive. Rishiram said.
“We need the vitality of the West in India, and you must take a lesson from us and base your civilization on a more spiritual plane.”
A world tom by confLct should take a lesson from Mahatma Gandhi. In 30 years he gained freedom for 300 millions without bloodshed, Rishiram said.
“Gandhi told Indians in 1916 that they were going to fight the biggest empire in the world . . . ‘and you will love them’.”
